omai la navicella del mio ingegno, |
che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele |

Thanks for this James. I like the blog. Well done!
Yes, the exiled son taken back by force. It is powerful alright. The Franciscans in Ravenna had to hide his bones because they were so worried the Florentines would steal them.
